AngloSaxon poetry is esteemed for its subtle artistry and for its wealth of insights into the artistic, social and spiritual preoccupations of the formative first centuries of English literature.This anthology of prose translations covers most of the poetry surviving in the four major codices and in various other manuscripts. A wellreceived feature is the grouping by codex to emphasize the great importance of manuscript context in interpreting the poems. The full contents of the Exeter Book are represented, summarized where not translated, to facilitate appreciation of a complete AngloSaxon book. The introduction discusses the nature of the legacy, the poet's role, chronology, and especially of translations attempt a style acceptable to the modern ear yet close enough to aid parallel study of the old English text. A checklist of extant AngloSaxon poetry enhances the practical usefulness of the volume. The whole thus adds up to a substantial and now widelycited survey of the AngloSaxon poetic achievement.
